Eris's story, book by book

  1. Book 7 This Inevitable Ruin

    Spontaneously summoned during a battle, Eris fights Meatus and Harpocrates and panic-casts a Ceremony of Chaos ritual that freezes crawlers as witnesses. She ends up trapped in a ball of bodies; her pilot Nami is ejected and dies. Freed and unsponsored, she visits Carl, urges him to drop Emberus for her, and tells him where the Gate of the Feral Gods is.

  2. Book 8 A Parade of Horribles

    With her pet Robot Uzi Jesus, she tells Carl to work with Akuma and to worship her, then shows him a five-sided coin of possible fates. Carl grabs it mid-flip, choosing the fifth side, and gets a spinning swirl tattoo on his palm. She returns during the final arena fight and swaps crawlers' inventories.
